Description: Lights Out in Chernobyl by David A. Noever Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description On April 28, 1986, the explosion of Reactor Number Four dwarfed the bombs dropped a quarter century earlier at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Chernobyls shadow looms larger than those nuclear events that ended humanitys bloodiest war. When the thinnest of Chernobyls nuclear reactor casings cracked, it pumped into the atmosphere thirty to forty times more radiation than both bombs put together. That hot spray continued burning unabated for three days, creating a radiating cloud which eventually circled the globe. The Swedish saw it first, then the wind reversed and easterly winds shrouded most of the northern hemisphere. The lifetime of that radiation is gauged not in days but in epochs. Its legacy will carry forward half-lives demarked in tens of thousands of years. Author Biography Dr. David Noever graduated from Princeton University, summa cum laude, and Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar with a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics. He worked as a NASA space scientist at the George C. Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. He traveled to Kiev near Chernobyl during the first year following the tragic accident at Reactor Number Four.
